Kimono Style Wrap ress Pattern for 16" Cabbage Patch Kids

By request from a customer, I drafted this kimono-style dress for 16" Cabbage Patch Kids.
 Kimono style is where the bodice has two layers of fabric that crisscross in front.  Be creative and mix and match different fabrics.
It comes in two styles: one with piping, and one with ruffles.  I think it came out so cute!  Bloomers and Headband instructions included.
Available on etsy, and eBay.







 Modeling for these photos is a Jesmar from Spain.

Material List

·         Dress and Bloomers — 3/4 yard
o    Top part of dress (including lining): 1/4 yard
o    Skirt and Bloomers: 1/2 yard
·         Piping cord: 1 1/2 yards
·         Hook and Loop tape, 1/2”
·          Elastic for bloomers and headband— 3/4 yd of 1/4 inch (cut 10 for waist and 5 x two for legs, 4” for headband)
·         Zipper foot or piping foot
·         small safety pin or loop turner
·         Optional but recommended:  4mm Rolled Hem Foot, 9mm Flat Felled Foot, Overcast Foot

Tips:  Iron after each step.  Use an overcast stitch for seams to keep fabric from unraveling.  Try garment on doll as you go, in case you need to make any adjustments.

I can’t tell you enough how much I recommend a loop turner, 4mm rolled hem foot and 9mm flat felled foot.  They make everything so much easier. (For the 9mm flat felled (felling) foot, you will need a plastic slant shank adapter for machines that are not Viking, since the Flat Felled Foot is only made for Viking.)
